"CONGRATULATIONS on passing the entrance exam with flying colors, Hanna."
Hanna was a bit startled when His Majesty called her by her first name instead of calling her by her full name, as usual. Thus, she suddenly got tongue-tied.
[It feels strange to hear His Majesty call me by my name casually.]
The current emperor was known for addressing people by their full names.
[Did His Majesty change the way he addresses me because we're going to be family soon?]
"Hanna, sweetie," her father, who was sitting beside her on the couch, gently called her as if he was snapping her out of her trance. "His Majesty just congratulated you for passing the entrance exam with an impressive result."
Hanna politely bowed her head to the emperor. "My utmost gratitude, Your Majesty."
